Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac

19 foot, 43 ton block of sunset red granite quarried
 35 miles from the LBJ Ranch in TX




"All my life I have drawn sustenance from the rivers and from the hills of my native state. ... I want no less for the all the children of America than what I was privileged to have as a boy."
~President Lyndon Baines Johnson


And so: "The Johnson Administration added 3.6 million acres of land to the National Park System, including Redwood National Park, Arches National Monument and many others."


The LBJ Memorial, located in Lady Bird Johnson Park, was intended to "be a living place where people could enjoy the pleasures and beauties of nature, not a great stone building or a bronze or marble statue." 

And, so we RECREATE:
